/Picaroon's Work

An interactive artwork is not a piece of art which is perfectly finished by the artist and immutably exposed to the public. It is a conversation, an ongoing process of perceiving and being perceived. It changes its meaning by being seen, it changes its form by being approached.

Picaroon creates interactive art since 2012. Their work has been exhibited at different events and in different countries, including the Ars Electronica Festival (2013, Linz - Austria), the AURORA light art festival (2015, Dallas - USA), the 3D Printshow (2014, London - England), the Glasgow Science Centre (2014, Glasgow - Scotland).

This autumn, their new installation is going to be revealed, which they've been working on the last two years – coming soon!
